Answer:

48

Explanation:

Lets assume that the third runner up eats x hot dogs.

The total time for the contest is 15x seconds.

Given is that the winner ate (x+24) hot dogs

The winner's rate of eating is 1 hot dog per 7.5 seconds.  

And we know the rate = total time/number of hot dog eaten

We get;

\frac{15}{x+24} = 7.5

solving we get x= 24

therefore the winner ate 24+24= 48
